Decision time: Ballots on their way

EVERETT — A half-million voters in Snohomish County begin deciding this week who they want as leaders of their cities, school districts, fire commissions and the county.

Ballots for the Nov. 2 election will be mailed Thursday to 495,000 registered voters. Every household will also receive separate state and local voters’ pamphlets with photos and statements of candidates, and information on a handful of non-binding advisory measures.

Decisions will be made for more than 170 local government offices, but history shows less than half of the eligible voting population will cast ballots.

“I know we can do better!” Snohomish County Auditor Garth Fell said in a statement.
